What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
Groundwork prices in Limavady depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Limavady, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Limavady include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Limavady
A dropped kerb always needs consent from DfI Roads, whether or not the driveway itself needs planning permission. A new access onto a classified road can need planning permission as well.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Limavady jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Dropped kerb applications in Limavady: questions
Is the price fixed for Limavady jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in Limavady?
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
